My brother is having ADHD

Question

Asked for Male, 17 Years

My small sibling who will be 14 this august is having ADHD. His symptoms are severly high, he is troublemaker and a source of disturbance for the whole house because he talks too much and makes wierd noises and his voice is too loud, even if he talks casually his voice can be heard in another room, he barely studies and gets very less marks, and he has all the symptoms of ADHD. I have told my parents to consult an psychiatrist but they are not convinced they say that he is very small and it is an childish and notorious behaviour which will go away over time, i dont know how should i convince my parents for his consultation .
